Information a Locksmith Needs
A locksmith visit goes faster and smoother when you have a few details ready. Here is what to have on hand before you call.
Where you are
Your address or a clear landmark helps us reach you quickly, especially at a beach access point, parking lot, or vacation rental on the island.
What is locked
Tell us whether it is a home, business, or vehicle, and what kind of lock or key is involved. For cars, the year, make, and model matter.
Proof you are authorized
- Identification matching the home or vehicle
- Proof of ownership, a lease, or a rental agreement
- Permission from the owner if you are a guest or manager
The situation
Let us know if anyone or a pet is locked inside, if it is an emergency, and whether the lock was damaged. This helps us bring the right tools.
Why this matters
Confirming you are authorized protects you, the property owner, and us. With these details ready, we can usually solve the problem in one visit.
Frequently asked questions
Why do you ask for proof of ownership?
It protects everyone and prevents unauthorized entry. We ask for identification and proof you are allowed to access the home or vehicle.
What if I am a guest at a rental?
Let us know who manages the property. With permission from the owner or manager, we can help you regain access.
What if I do not have the year, make, and model of my car?
Look on your registration or insurance card, or check the door jamb sticker. If you still are not sure, describe the vehicle and the key, and we will work it out with you on the phone.
